Application filed November 16, 1923. Serial No. 675,125.

T 0 all whom it my concern.

Be it known that I, M ARoAnr-r V. WENZEL,

=abitizen of the United States. residing at Le Roy, in-the county ofOsceola and State of hlichigan, have invented certain new and roll maybe extended to view rearwardly of a window formed in said cap and thisina novel, simple and expeditious manner.

With the above and other objects in view as the nature of the inventionis better understood, the same comprises the novel form, combination andarrangement of partshereinafter more fully described, shown in theaccompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein there is set forth the most practical embodimentof the invention with which I am at this time familiar and wherein likereference.characters indicate corresponding parts throughout thedifferent views,

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a fountain pen the cap element ofwhich is so constructed after the manner of the present invention as tocomprise an essential part of the prese'lntfcalendar construction,

Figure 2' is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view through said cap formore clearly disclosing the calendar mechanism per se,

. Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the calendar roll receivingsleeve of the present invention, 7

Figure 4 is a bottom plan view 'thereof, said calendar strip and itscarrying roll bein shown in dotted lines, and

Figure 5 is a side elevational view of said calendar strip carrying rollsaid calendar stri being disposed thereon.

0W having particular reference to-the drawing. 5 indicatesthe-conventional form of fountain pen equipped with a pen pointprotecting cap 6 which in the present instance is formed at its upperend with a re 1 ceptacle 7 of desired length, said receptacle beingprovided with a relatively square shaped opening 8 in its side wall .forthe receptlon of a curvilinear strip of transparent material, preferablycelluloid 9.

Adapted for detachable positioning within said receptacle 7 formed uponthe upper end of the point protecting cap 6 is a sleeve 10 of preferablythe same material as the point protecting cap 6, the up being closed andflange ing a closure for the upper open end of the ,receptacle 7 in.said cap 6..

This sleeve 10 is formed with a portion 12 that extends slightly inward]out of eircumferential alinenient with t e sleeve ander end of thissleeve as at'll for providis formed at its opposite ends with verticalslots 13 and 14, respectively, the slot 13being open'at its lower end asclearly indicated In Figure 3:

Adapted for vertical disposition within the sleeve 10 is a-calendarstrip carrying.

roll 15 that is flanged at its opposite ends as at 16 and to which is tobe secured the inner end of a calendar strip 1.7 which as clearlyshown'in Figure 5 has printed thereon indicia representative of thedifferent 7 months in the year, they free end-of this calendar stripbeing somewhat pointed as in-. dicated at 18 for a purpose presently tobe set forth.

In actual use said calendar 7 roll 15 is positioned within the sleeve10, it being ofcourse understood that the free end of this calendarstrip is to be extended outwardly of the sleeve through the slot 13after which said. calendar strip may be passed over the before-mentionedportion 12 of said sleeve and have its pointed end 18 projected into theslot 14.

strip carrying It will thus be seen that when the ele ments are properlyassembled the articular month will be visible through t e window opening8 in the point protecting cap 6.

\Vhen it is desired to change the months the roll carrying sleeve may beremoved and the calendar strips fed therein as per the dotted lines,Figure 4.

It will thus be seen that whenever it is desirable -to change the monthsof the cal.- endar strip, the same may be fed inwardly of the sleeve 10through the slot 14.

1 For allowing of a free rotation oi the:

10 pens, \h'ave iereln shown and described the most 5 wal of thereceptacle 7 respectively.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel and efficientform of calendar specifically adapted'to be employed in conjunotionwiththe point protecting caps of encils or the like, and even" though Ipracticalembodiment of the invention with which Ifam at this-timefamiliar, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes 15 maybe made withlntthe invention without departing from the spirit. andscope of the appended claim,

Having thus described my invention, what I I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is In combination with a member formed with areceptacle at one of its ends, said receptacle being formed'with awindow opening, a calendar structure adapted for posi-' tioning withinthe receptacle for view through said window opening, said calendarstructure including a calendar strip, a carrying roll to which the stripis to be attached at one end, and a sleeve-clfised at one end forpositioning within said {receptacle and' be- Ing, formed with Regal U201's'paccd'slots whereby a portion of said liillflp nlfly be positionedexternally of thefsleevc between said slots.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature.
